I have told TAT before about this, but they have suggested to use IE on the page.

Comment 4

[Ben Luh]

I mean they have written "Suggest to use IE" on the page.
So now I report it as a bug here.

This bug needs a minimal testcase.  Note that there is a very good chance that
the site is just using IE-only code or depending on an IE bug...

[Andrew Schultz]

the site assumes all browsers are IE or NS4.  The page at the URL has:

if (document.all) {n=0;ie=1;fShow="block";fHide="none";}
if (document.layers) {n=1;ie=0;fShow="show"; fHide="hide";}

so fHide is never defined and when it then does element.style.display = fHide,
things get bad.  It also has 'onmousemove="window.event.cancelBubble = true"' on
a div that includes most (or all) of the content window, so moving your mouse is
a good way to flood the JS console (window.event is an IEism).

djlu35: the poor display is due to problems with the site's HTML, so I'm moving
this to TE where people contact the web sites to try to get them to fix their
pages.  If you have any more correspondence with the site, please include their
responses here.
